A middle school student's claim of finding a mouse inside a bag of Frito-Lay barbecue potato chips purchased at a school lunch line appears credible, Lewis-Palmer School District 38 officials said.

Figures. A lousy mouse is in the chips, while teachers are as poor as church--well, you know.

So, I guess this is a good indication that Frito-Lay's idea to create healthier chips with more protein is a bust then.

Honestly, I'm not suprised at all. My school has a rodent and insect infestation and every so often you'll see one. The basic attitude is don't bother them and they won't bother you. That and there's 4,100 of us, we're teenagers, and wethe guys bathe in AXE, so an exterminator does NFBSK.
